Description
What type of wine it is
Pinot Grigio Rosé by Bosco del Merlo is a still wine that expresses the elegance of the copper style, with an intense copper colour and bright salmon nuances. On the nose, it develops defined aromas of Williams pear, wild strawberries, and dried flowers. On the palate, it proves dry and juicy, supported by an excellent savouriness that balances the sip until a long and persistent mineral finish. This refined expression under the Delle Venezie DOC (Controlled Designation of Origin) is a vegan wine aged in stainless steel, widely appreciated by wine critics.
Where it comes from
The identity of this rosé originates in North-East Italy, in the Delle Venezie territory, in a historical context located between the ancient Roman roads Annia and Postumia. Agricultural management is based on rigorous vineyard zonation, prioritising the sunniest and best-ventilated parcels to ensure the perfect health of the Pinot Grigio bunches. The multi-stage harvest allows the grapes to be gathered by calibrating the optimal moment of ripeness, ensuring an ideal balance between the acidic backbone and aromatic precision.
How it is produced
Production begins with a delicate cold cryomaceration, a brief contact between skins and must essential for extracting the wine's typical hue. The grapes are processed in two separate batches and subjected to soft pressing. Fermentation and ageing take place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, preserving the maximum clarity of the fruit. The process concludes with the final blend of the two portions, a key step to maximise freshness and overall organoleptic harmony.
History and curiosities
The Pinot Grigio Rosé Delle Venezie DOC by Bosco del Merlo originates in the territory crossed by the ancient Roman roads Annia and Postumia, from vineyards meticulously tended plot by plot. Multi-award-winning by critics, this sustainable and Vegan OK certified wine embodies a profound ethical commitment: since 2018, through the Life in Rosé project, it has supported the LILT of Treviso in its prevention activities, promoting health and sport.

The Bosco del Merlo estate winery started up in 1977 in Annone Veneto, founded by siblings Carlo, Lucia and Roberto Paladin. Thanks to a profitable collaboration with the Istituto Sperimentale per la Viticoltura di Conegliano, a careful and modern zoning technique was immediately implemented in order to get the best out of the terroir, working the vineyard piece by piece. In the nineties, in the small town of Lison di Portogruaro, the cradle of viticulture in this wine-making region, a further 50 hectares of land was acquired, which therefore doubled capacity, increasing it to around 100 hectares in total.
Over the course of the years Bosco del Merlo has benefited from the advice of famous oenologists and experts from the Faculties of Oenology and Agriculture in Padua and Milan, such as Franco Bernabei and Leonardo Valenti, in its quest to find the most forward-thinking solutions for achieving optimal quality with the lowest environmental impact.
